Magic WAN and its interops

Cloudflare

What is Magic WAN?

  • In short, using Cloudflare as an extension of your private network (even for public applications in the future) with the variety of on-ramps and off-ramps.

  • Think of connecting offices, remote users, data centers etc.

Why?

  • You get to leverage Cloudflare’s network
    • This means points of presence across the globe
    • Single pane view and interconnects (think secure web gateway, DNS rules, network rules etc.)
    • You can programmatically manage your infrastructure (even more so in the future when we talk about cloud connectivity)

How does it work?
